Second of Asperger’s Ten Traits – Overwhelmed Innocence
"2) We are innocent, naive, and honest. Do we lie? Yes. Do we like to lie? No. Things that are hard for us to understand: manipulation, disloyalty, vindictive behavior, and retaliation. Are we easily fooled and conned, particularly before we grow wiser to the ways of the world? Absolutely, yes. Confusion, feeling misplaced, isolated, overwhelmed, and … Continue reading Second of Asperger’s Ten Traits – Overwhelmed Innocence
First of Asperger’s Ten Traits – Extreme Intelligence
Driven, probably by the systemising neuro-biology of my brain, I'm constantly looking for an organised understanding of facts, where "the three…", "the seven…" or "the ten…" somethings, constantly attract my semantic mind. On such a fortunate occasion, I have found Samantha Croft's -now former- blog, Everyday Asperger's. In her new website's own words, "Samantha Croft, … Continue reading First of Asperger’s Ten Traits – Extreme Intelligence
The Asperger Individualism
Throughout my life and modest literary endeavours, I firmly acknowledged the supreme primacy of detail before the whole, for reasons too obvious to state… Nevertheless, since discovering that I live with Asperger's on the neuro-divergent side of existence, I realised that the term autism was coined from the Greek autos which means self, as an … Continue reading The Asperger Individualism
“[…] the increase in those who are euthanized because of psychiatric disorders: not just severe depression, but also schizophrenia, anxiety, autism […]”
Reading the entire article from where the paragraph below originated, I've asked myself if I might remember well times not so long past, when people with "psychiatric disorders" were considered not only alleged burdens to themselves, but also to their societies, and subsequently "euthanized" for the "greater good". I took myself the liberty to emphasize "autism" because I didn't really know … Continue reading “[…] the increase in those who are euthanized because of psychiatric disorders: not just severe depression, but also schizophrenia, anxiety, autism […]”

It’s been a while since reading a post which at the time represented an epitome of honesty, from a world unknown, foreign and distant for the vast majority, the universe of those for whom solitude may be exactly on the opposite of unwantedness... The author’s plea was powerful and simple: “Embrace Solitude”. Now I know … Continue reading On Neurodivergent Solitude…

There are times when, at least in my case, only heartfelt music restores some balance to my chaotically racing mind, savagely trying to escape another meltdown... If You are looking for some soothing piano tunes to calm the storms, consider Yiruma... Piano played with the heart, perfect for my quiet chamber of self, where my neuro-divergence … Continue reading Yiruma against meltdowns…
Sensory Overload, my hidden foe (hearing)…
As I have mentioned before, I am going through a process of discovering newer and newer details about my own condition(s), and as a result, I am learning how to better cope with life’s sometimes fair, but oftentimes unfair demands. In this process, I notice similarities between what I experience and what others experience, therefore … Continue reading Sensory Overload, my hidden foe (hearing)…
Where clouds merge…
Too late to paint the shades of darkness; it’s after midnight, don’t you know? So many wounds, and so much harshness, of deaths outrunning lives too slow… Do we remember our own image mirrored, the smell of revenge on edges of time, of tenderness scarred and hopes littered, of poems unworthy of paper and … Continue reading Where clouds merge…
I would have built robots
“There’s a liberty that comes when everything is broken. There’s a freedom of purpose. “
When I was little I wanted to make robots. I was going to be an inventor. Robots were the future, they were going to be everything, and I was going to design them.
I’d spend ages drawing pictures of different tin-cans with claws and wheels and springs.
I remember being frustrated that I didn’t know how to put them together. I didn’t know how to create.
Whenever any appliance broke, I would ask if I could have a screwdriver and a hammer and take it apart.
It’s an adorable image, isn’t it? A small girl in her turquoise t-shirt dress with boats on it (labels secretly removed by her with the scissors she wasn’t allowed to use) sat at the kitchen table, carefully taking apart a toaster.
